There are many different leadership styles. Good leaders realize that no single approach fits all situations; great leaders use different leadership styles in different situations. Some people are great leaders in training, and when that is the case, one of the most powerful conversations you can have with your boss is one that outlines how you are best managed. Help your boss learn what works for you, how to listen, how to provide direction and support, how to be respectful and encouraging, and how to lead by example. This way, you both win.
